MCLEAN, Va., 9 March 2013. Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC; NYSE:SAI) won a prime contract from the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) to provide command-and-control (C2) applications information services development to the Air Combat Command (ACC).
"We look forward to providing applications and information services to the Air Force warfighter, enabling them to produce decision-quality information at the right place and time," said Dan Harris, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager.
ACC is the primary force provider of combat airpower to America's warfighting commands and supports global implementation of national security strategy.
Under the multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, SAIC will provide C2 applications information services development for air, space, and cyberspace domains. SAIC engineers will help to enable the migration from older, antiquated applications and hardware to a contemporary infrastructure using modern tools, techniques, and processes.
The contract has a six-year period of performance and a total contract value of $249 million for all awardees. SAIC is one of seven contractors eligible to compete for task orders under this contract.
SAIC’s work will be performed primarily in Mclean, Va. and Morgantown, W.Va.
